Run your MacBook without a battery and throttle the performance

I am still trying to get my head around this article on Gearlog that points out that Apple notebooks throttle the CPU performance if you run them plugged in without a battery installed.

Hands on with the ECS J10IL at Mobile Asia Congress 2008

ECS hasn’t exactly been making waves in the netbook scene since they entered, but with their latest netbook model, I think they just might.

Why would anyone buy a MacBook Air?

We all remember the announcement of the MacBook Air with the image of sliding it out of an envelope showing us how thin it is. We were enamored of the thought of a Mac that is thinner than any other notebook out there and how portable it is. Then the...

Letterbox gives Mac Mail three vertical columns

One of the Outlook views I sorely miss when on my MacBook Pro is the three vertical column view. It's a personal preference to be sure, but I like having my folder list on the left, Inbox flowing down the middle and my preview pane on the right... especially when...
